Who wants a Modern Warfare killer? Ubisoft does. (And so do most other publishers aside from Atlus, but thatâs not the point.)
The head of Ubisoft, Yves Guillemot, said today that the companyâs Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, long in development and showed in controlled demos at last yearâs E3, wonât be released until the first three months of 2012.
Future Soldier has been shown off as a cutting-edge, graphically impressive third-person shooter. It appears to be less tactically-oriented than earlier Ghost Recon games and more of an aggressive shooter, in the vein of third-person Gears of War and first-person Modern Warfare games, presumably the sort of âbiggest players out thereâ the Ubi boss was referring to. Modern Warfare 3, Gears of War 3 and Battlefield 3 are all expected for later this year, crowding Ghost Recon out to 2012.
